Professional basketball clubs in Europe can compete in a number of different competitions, including national leagues, regional (multi-national) leagues, and continental competitions. It is therefore possible for clubs from some countries to take part in three levels of competition in the same season. Clubs can generally qualify for European competitions through performance in their national leagues. The EuroLeague is considered the top level competition in Europe, and the second highest-quality league in the world, after the NBA.
